Stainless Steel Y-pipe

[red or zed]

Guys,

 

I bought this off Sinbad back in June and have never got round to fitting it, so its basically in the same condition as when I bought it.

 

I dont have any pics to hand, but Sinbad may still have the ones he used....

 

Its basically a straight swap for the OEM one, but is more free flowing and should in theory give a bit more growl to the zed...

 

I think I paid Chris £40 for it, so if anybody wants it, they can take it off my hands for the same.

 

Cheers

 

Matt

If i remember rightly, because of the heat, it did turn it a slight gold colour which shows abit better in the 2nd pic.

if you need me to reduce the sizes, just give me a shout..

Was there much difference in sound Chris or anybody? I have an oem zorst.

Anybody?

I cant remember to be honest. i had it on at a similar time to my Kakimoto as i bought it to add to my system.

 

I'm sure it would make a slight difference in noise, what i can remember though, is thats its a fair bit lighter than the oem y-pipe.

Sorry Mike!

 

I cant comment obviously, but its a lot less restrictive than the OEM pipe- not sure what the two "wound" parts you can see are called, but they are a lot smaller than those on the OEM. I would imagine that it would aid the gas flow slightly and maybe change the tone a little- thats what I was hoping and bought it on the assumption that I didnt exactly have much to lose as I only paid Chris 40quid for it!

I can only but try, just let me know when you are free so i can come and pic it up

[sinbad]

for the asking price its a bargain. You won't lose anything apart from weight.

[xStric9x]

Any idea how much (roughly)?

[sinbad]

Cant remember but a guestimate would be ~ 2-3kgs.

 

If you can get the car on a ramp then its about 10-15minute job. I did mine with a mate in about 20mins, jacked the car up, pushed the old one off with my foot (to bend the fexi-pipe sections), slotted the new one over the bolts, screwed the nuts on and bobs your uncle!

 

6 Bolts in all. Y-Pipe was made by a comany in the US using 304 grade stainless steel.

Anyone ever changed just the y-pipe to a stainless on an oem zorst, if so what were the differences? ie sound, performance.

 

ps. Sorry Jamie

[live2themaxuk]

The differences. . . . . . makes the car sound like a tractor . . . .and you loose about 50bhp as you dont have enough back pressure. . . . . .you really dont want one. . . .

 

 

but then you shouldnt listen to me. . .i may be biased

 

hehe

 

no, in all honestly i have heard ppl say that depending on the Y-Pipe, it will be a little louder and may free up a few ponies up top.
